Crazy how the US government can track down a downed pilot in Iran using their heartbeat but they can’t find the 460,000 children that go missing every year…
Make it make sense…
The Rules Committee is the Speaker’s Committee and passes or blocks only approved legislation by the Speaker, and often times and especially in this case, the White House.
Republicans are fully controlled by Neocons now.
The mask is off, MAGA was just a dream.
Trump received 10 tickets to the World Cup finals from FIFA head Gianni Infantino valued at $15,000, 10 tickets to the US Open tennis tournament from sponsor Rolex worth $25,000, as well as 10 tickets to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans estimated at $50,000.
Trump reported $4.7 million in royalties from "Trump Watches," and payments from Trump-branded sneakers, fragrances and guitars. Trump Restaurants, wholly owned by one of the president's holding companies, reported nearly $2.9 million in food and beverage sales.
Forty-seven members of Congress skipped the vote on the KIDS Act, which establishes the infrastructure for mass surveillance of Americans online.
This bill needed a two-thirds majority to pass, so just 17 more no votes could have sunk it!
A couple members might have a legit excuse, but 47? No way. They bailed to avoid going on the record, even at the cost of furthering the surveillance state.
Divorce is contagious.
“People are 75% more likely to become divorced if a friend is divorced and 33% more likely to divorce if a friend of a friend is divorced.
The contagion of divorce can spread through a social network, affecting friends up to two degrees removed.” — @robkhenderson
SCOTUS ruled that geofencing is a Fourth Amendment violation.
Flock cameras are no different. There are current cases being heard in the lower courts. The argument is "no reasonable expectation of privacy."
If they apply the Mosaic Theory to interpret the Fourth Amendment, it treats prolonged government surveillance as more intrusive than all the individual parts. (big brother)
Mosaic in the simplest definition, is when different surveillance (IE like mass flock cameras and AI surveillance) create a comprehensive picture of someone's life (daily living) habits and routines. Duration, nature of data, and tech capabilities.
This geofencing ruling should set a precedent on flock and ai, which will almost certainly reach SCOTUS. Justice Alito already had set a similar precedent on warrantless GPS tracking.
We are PRIVATE citizens, the government should know very little if anything about us at all.
They are PUBLIC officials, we should know damn near everything about what they are doing.
The cameras are pointed the wrong way.
Justice Thomas tells the truth about central banking in the U.S. It really isn't compatible with our republican system of government -- it's a progressive, German import.
The Fourth Amendment was written for a reason. The founders lived under a government that searched homes, seized papers, and invaded private life without justification. They built a wall against it. Washington has spent decades quietly tearing that wall down, one surveillance program, one secret court order, and one warrantless data purchase at a time.
My Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act rebuilds it. Government exists to protect your rights, not trade them away to the highest bidder or the most powerful agency.
Here’s the roll call of members of Congress who betrayed the Constitution and the American people by voting yes on the KIDS Act.
The sickest part is that these people used “protecting kids” as an excuse to further insert government between parents and their children—all while establishing a surveillance infrastructure to monitor and control Americans of all ages.
Warning! This is moving fast.
Congress is rushing the KIDS Act to expand the surveillance state under the guise of “protecting kids.”
Identity checks to use the internet.
Government monitoring and control of all Americans.
It’s coming if you don’t act now.
Tell Congress: No!
🚨 The Supreme Court ruled that police conduct a Fourth Amendment search when they obtain data through a geofence warrant, holding that people have a reasonable expectation of privacy in their cell phone location data.
@scotus_wire Do @Flock_Safety cameras next.
If a private company sets up automated cameras that profile everyone that goes by them via an AI that can be queried without a warrant, you don't have any privacy either, even if it should be expected.
Let me put in simple terms what BIS is saying here.
The Ai bubble is now a self-feeding disaster that can’t be rescued. Hyperscalers must borrow and keep increasing capex higher every quarter for eternity. Every quarter the situation grows more disastrous, but the entire financial system risks collapse the second the debt ends. It’s unavoidable.
